Equipment

  • 12-cavity muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 1 and ½ cups all purpose flour (187.5 grams)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder (40 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (80 ml) canola works too
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar (100 grams) light or dark
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup brown bananas (160 ml) about 2-3 bananas
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (60 ml) room temperature
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (180 grams) semi-sweet, milk or dark

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F degrees (190C or 180C fan forced). Line a 12 cavity muffin pan with muffin papers, or spray with non-stick cooking spray and flour. You'll end up with about 12-14 muffins total, so you may need 2 tins. 
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the mashed bananas and yogurt into the oil mixture. 
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to over mix.
  • When the ingredients look about 90% combined, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon about ¼ - ⅓ cup of muffin batter into the cavities of your prepared muffin pan. You'll end up with 12-14 muffins total. 
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-24 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean or with a melted chocolate chip or a few moist muffin crumbs.
  • Let to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and continue cooling on a wire rack.

Notes

  1. Bananas: Bananas should be brown and spotty. You'll need 2 very large bananas or about 3 medium-sized bananas.
  2. Greek Yogurt: Make sure to use plain Greek yogurt. It can also be substituted with sour cream.
  3. Storage: Store muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days. Baked and cooled muffins will freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge. 
  4. Nutrition: Details provided are an estimate only and based on 1 muffin, assuming the recipe yields 12 muffins in total.
